Cucking The Demon King
Chapter 48: Rex’s horror

Chapter 48: Rex’s horror

Their laughs echoed loudly around him, pulling him deeper into his despair.

"You..." He mumbled, gnashing his teeth as he slowly stood up on his feet.

He tried his best to ignore the people laughing around him, and then pointed a finger at Liam, his arm trembling in fear.

At this point, the darkness tendrils had already completely covered Liam’s two arms, wriggling around like worms.

"You did this... didn’t you?" He mumbled, clenching his jaws tightly.

"Did what?" Liam replied, but the curl at the edges of his lips betrayed his words.

’I can use all my skills within dreams, that’s good to know.’ He thought, staring at the dark tendrils coiled around his arms.

He hadn’t actually done anything, but it seemed like only Rex could see his power, probably because this was his ’dream’, or rather... nightmare.

If he wanted to, he could make it that the other people standing around could also see the tendrils on his body, but he didn’t think it was necessary.

"Did you think you can get away with this?" Rex said, his eyes flashing with a weird glint.

"I never expected this, but I guess I should have known... your sudden transformation, your strength..." He continued, clenching his fists as he spoke.

"You’re not the Liam I know... the real Liam has certainly being killed and replaced by a demon!" He shouted, a slight smirk spreading across his face.

"But now that you’ve stupidly revealed yourself... do you think the academy’s just going to let you go scot-free?!" He continued, the smirk on his lips widening in pride.

Despite how terrible his situation seemed on the outside, he believed he had the upper hand here.

After all, there was no way the academy instructors and the church would leave Liam alone after finding out he was a demon.

With the huge number of powerful holy mages in the academy premises, he would surely be knocked down within minutes, and then publicly executed.

Not once did the thought even cross his mind that Liam might be stronger than all those holy mages, because he was confident in the power of his instructors.

Because of this, he felt that Liam wouldn’t try to kill him or hurt him too much, or else he would attract the anger of the instructors.

Just being a demon had already placed his name in red ink, and killing his students would only make things worse.

’I already have you trapped... there’s nothing you can do now.’ Rex thought, staring at Liam, who remained rooted to the spot.

’Now... let me move to the second part of the plan.’ He mumbled inwardly, slowly stepping towards Liam.

"But if you surrender now, and don’t cause any more trouble... I could talk to them on your behalf, and help lessen your punishment." He said, nodding his head at the white haired boy.

However, contrary to his expectations, Liam suddenly let out a low chuckle.

"Seriously? You actually thought that dumb threat will work?" He said, placing a hand over his mouth to as he fake-yawned.

"Surrender, you’ll help lessen my punishment?" He mockingly repeated his words, causing Rex’s brows to furrow in confusion.

"Don’t you get it Rex?" He said, the tendrils around his arms wriggling quietly.

"This is all a dream. Everything happening right now is practically not real. No one’s coming to help you... not even the instructors."

As he spoke, he slowly moved closer to the red haired boy, while the latter kept stepping backwards in fear.

Although he was the one trying to scare him off using the instructors, the sight of those living tendrils wriggling around his arms gave him chills.

He felt that if even one of them touched his skin, the effect would be completely disastrous, and could even lead to the instant loss of his life.

Suddenly, a few of the tendrils spread out from his fingers, slowly stretching towards the ground.

"Tell me Rex, do you think the instructors, can save you from me?" Liam said, his tone dripping with coldness.

At the sound of his voice, Rex shivered, his blood rapidly turning cold.

’N-no... I don’t want to die! I need to get to an instructor!’ With that thought in mind, he swiftly turned around, running away from Liam with all his mignt.

Swoosh!

However, a tendril suddenly shot out of Liam’s arm, tightly wrapping around his left foot.

The tendril immediately pulled him back, causing him to fall straight to the ground.

"Aghhh!" He groaned, his bruised head slamming into the hard floor.

This caused some of his wounds to open even more, and blood slowly oozed out of his head.

Suddenly, the tendril grip on his foot tightened, and his body froze in fear.

The chilling cold from the tendril coursed through his legs, making him feel like his blood was freezing over.

’No... no... I need to get away...’ He kept mumbling, trying his best to free his leg.

But no matter what he did, the tendril remained wrapped around his foot, slowly tightening the more he struggled.

—"Look at him, he’s down without Liam even doing anything!"

—"Hahaha!"

—"Pathetic."

The mocking murmurs pressed down on him like a heavy mountain, and he felt his heart tighten within his chest.

Suddenly, the tendril pulled him up, hanging his body upside down in the air.

"Haaa!" Rex shouted, his eyes dizzy as his vision was abruptly turned upside down.

The only thing he could see was the devilish face of Liam, and though he was upside down, he could still make out the smug smirk tugging at the edges of his lips.

"S-stop this..." He mumbled, still trying to convince Liam to let him go. "If you kill me... you’ll be hunted by the academy... but if you just release me, then I swear... I’ll give you anything you want... anything..."

He was already on the verge of tears, and was starting to grow more desperate in his pleas.

Nonetheless, Liam couldn’t care any less.

"Whether I kill you or not, I’ll be hunted either way." He muttered, three more tendrils shooting out of his arms, swiftly wrapping around Rex’s three other limbs.

"Ugh!" Rex grunted, his body suspended helplessly in the air.

He kept on trying to free himself, but he could barely even move his body, talk less of breaking free from their hold.

Before long, the tendrils started pulling on his limbs, causing him to cry out in agony.

He could feel the muscles in his arms and legs slowly tearing apart, placing him in a world of agony.

"Aggghh! Stop!" He cried only, only to be replied with the mocking laughers echoing behind him.

"And you think you can give me everything I want?" Liam said, ignoring the red haired boy’s cries for help.

"I already told you; I’m going to take away everything you love and cherish... everything." Liam muttered, placing some emphasis on the last ’everything.’

Those were the last words Rex heard, as his limbs were immediately torn apart by the tendrils.

*

"Hahh!!" Rex snapped awake with a loud scream, the pain from having his limbs ripped apart still etched in his mind.

His back was drenched in cold sweat, and he kept breathing heavily, looking around to confirm if he was still alive.

"A dream... it really was a dream." He mumbled, looking down at his hands, which were still trembling.

’What kind of dream was that... just what is that dream supposed to mean?’ He mumbled inwardly, slowly getting up from the chair.

Though his body was so close to the edge, it was only a miracle he didn’t fall off the chair.

"Ugh..." He grunted, slapping a hand over his forehead.

Slowly pulling his hand away, his face squeezed into a deep frown.

Though it was supposed to be just a dream, he could still feel the muscles in his limbs tearing apart, almost like those demonic tendrils were still latched onto him.

"Liam... Wilshere..." He mumbled, the image of a familiar white haired student popping up in his mind.

However, it was quickly replaced by that of those demonic, wriggling tendrils coiling around his arm, and his body shivered in fear.

’A demon.. he’s a freaking demon!’ He thought, subconsciously placing a hand on his shoulders, in a bad to stop them from trembling.

But despite his actions, his body still kept shaking, as the sight of that demonic power had already permanently scarred him.

The chilling coldness from their grip, as well as the way they easily tore his limbs apart... all that remained fresh in his mind.

Even though it seemed like an ordinary nightmare, he was sure what really happened was more than that... and it certainly involved Liam.

"A demon...?" He mumbled, gnashing his teeth.

Suddenly, the door was flung open, and a short, black haired girl bursted inside.

Two more students soon followed, fixing their trembling gazes on him.

"R-Rex..." The girl muttered, slowly shrinking behind the two other guys.

"What huh?!" Rex suddenly exploded, his eyes red in fury as he stared at the three students.
